In addition to the missions that Cornerstone Fellowship
supports around the nation and the world, we also support several local
ministries which reach out to the Tucson community.
S.A.A.F. KIDS - Tucson, Arizona
We provide monthly birthday gifts to children in the Tucson
area who are HIV+/AIDS or live with a family member who is HIV+/AIDS.
GOOD SAMARITAN FUND
This fund has been around almost as long as Cornerstone
Fellowship. Good Sam provides financial assistance to those in need, both from
our congregation and the rest of our community and
has been used to help literally hundreds of people over the years.
T.I.H.A.N.
Cornerstone Fellowship has financially supported this local
outreach for approximately two years. This organization consists primarily of
Interfaith churches that assist in the non-medical care of HIV+/AIDS patients
and or family members. Cornerstone Fellowship has also supported by attendance
many TIHAN fund-raising events.
VIEW FROM THE ROCK
For over 12 years consecutively, Cornerstone Fellowship has
written a Christian article for The
Observer (local, weekly GLBT community newsletter). These articles take a
typical thought and support that thought with scripture. These articles are
sometimes humorous, sometimes sad, sometimes difficult to hear, but always
written with the goal that the name of Jesus Christ is presented and lifted up.
WINGSPAN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROJECT
When you think of domestic violence, you first think of
husbands beating their wives. That may be true, however domestic violence is
unfortunately alive and well in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered
community as well. Same sex domestic violence is on the rise and Cornerstone
Fellowship has and is presently supporting the work of this
project, financially and also by allowing the Board of this project to hold
its meetings in the Social Hall of Cornerstone Fellowship. Emergency personal
care item packages for victims of domestic violence are also provided by
Cornerstone Fellowship.
